After Taken as a Prisoner of War, the Vampire Queen Turned Me Into a Vampire and Made Me Her Daughter - Chapter 198: I’m not sick

“Gulp, gulp, gulp~~ Mhm?~” As the silver-haired girl savored her blood bag, she suddenly felt a series of chills run down her neck. With a strange expression on her face, she directed her gaze towards the wide-open window.

The breeze blowing through felt oddly chilly to her.

Bai Ji hopped off the closed toilet seat and tiptoed towards the open window in an attempt to close it.

Although vampires possessed an undying body that was completely resistant to diseases, they were not monsters that were impervious to the cold.

They would shiver in chilly environments and sweat profusely in hot environments.

However, not everyone was at the mercy of the elements; A good example of which was the beastman race. Despite their frailty, they possessed an innate resistance to the cold, enabling them to maintain a stable body temperature even in the harshest winter. It was as if they were fluffy hand warmers, and Ke’er, being a member of that race, was no exception.

When someone was broke, their mind would naturally start to brainstorm ways to be frugal.

A brazen idea suddenly came to Bai Ji’s mind.

‘Can I save money on blankets and hot water bottles to keep me warm in this bitter-cold winter, and just use a cuddly beast-woman as a replacement instead? After all, there happens to be one at home…’

This audacious idea was dismissed by Bai Ji the instant it appeared.

She did not hold any special feelings of fetishization towards lolis or young girls. Not to mention, such an act would be completely animalistic of her and cross a red line of her moral principles.

“Heave-ho~…” Bai Ji bounced about as she stood on tip-toes in front of the window.

The distance between the handle and her slender, delicate and tiny hands was enough to make her despair.

“Tsk…!” Upon realizing that she was completely incapable of reaching the window, Bai Ji gave up in frustration. Sticking her hands to her waist, she shot an angry glance at it before turning around and walking into the living room.

‘Thud, thud, thud’. A moment later, a series of urgent footsteps could be heard.

Bai Ji had returned to the toilet. Despite closing the door behind her, she had left it unlocked.

Ke’er was out and would probably not be back home until the evening. Since she was alone in the house, there was no reason for her to be in a constant state of alert.

This house was all hers for the day; She could do whatever she pleased, even if that meant laying down on the sofa and rolling about.

Carrying a small stool in her arms, Bai Ji hurried to the window. Setting it down next to the window, she propped her hands against its surface for support before getting her pale, silk-like feet up onto the stool.

After effortlessly closing the window, Bai Ji hopped down from the stool and rubbed her hands together in delight.

“Hmph~ Do you really think this Little Miss couldn’t do anything to you?’

With a gallant and spirited air, Bai Ji supported herself with her hands on the toilet and sat down. She then picked up the blood bag, which still held more than half of its contents, and began to drink slowly.

The act of consuming food was a form of pleasure; It would tarnish her image if she was to eat hastily.

Needless to say, this morning was an exception. The desire to solve the situation quickly had coincided with the need to fill up her truly famished stomach.

Furthermore, this method of dealing with the aftermath was convenient as well; Sucking the blood of her victim, along with her memories, was the simplest and most effective way of resolving the situation.

“Tsss…” To a vampire who had gone without food for a few days, the blood in her mouth tasted like Ambrosia, with a rich aftertaste lingering on her palate.

Bai Ji had not understood the allure of that liquid, which had a strong metallic taste like rust. However, once she tasted it, she found she was unable to stop herself from drinking more, like a drug addict in the presence of their vice.

Was her fondness for blood just another way the subtle influence manifested itself?

“Boom!” Suddenly, the whole house shook momentarily as the sound of a door being slammed reverberated through the air.

“W-Ghhk… Cough!” Bai Ji was so startled that she choked and tumbled head-first from the toilet seat onto the ground.

‘Ouch, that hurts~~ What happened?? Has Ke’er come back early? There’s no way such a coincidence exists, right…’

“Obscene Middle-aged man! Where are you? I need to talk to you about something!” A familiar and loveable shout arrived from the living room.

‘Lil’ Sha? How did she get our house key??’

Bai Ji covered her head and stood up. However, just as she was about to move her body, she suddenly felt her vision sway.

“Plop.” She tripped over a stool.

‘Darn it… Is this stool intentionally trying to give me a hard time? If I get the chance in the future, I’ll definitely dismantle you!’

However, it was extremely clear that this was not the time for such thoughts.

“Obscene middle-aged man, are you in there?” Lil’ Sha’s voice was accompanied by a series of gradually approaching footsteps.

‘Crap, she’s coming!’

Bai Ji couldn’t care less in her moment of desperation and quickly dispelled her vampire state.

“Creak.” It was also at that moment that the door was pushed open.

“You’re already an adult now, obscene middle-aged man. Why are you still fooling around like a child and lying on the ground? Don’t you know you’ll catch a cold this way? You really don’t use your brain much, do you?”

A voice tinged with sarcasm resounded in his ears. Following which, a gorgeous and diminutive golden figure appeared in his vision.

“…Why have you come?” Feigning nonchalance, Ji Bai got up to his feet, before turning around with his mouth covered.

His mouth was still full of blood… He wagered that his lips must be a sea of red right now.

‘What do I do? Should I swallow it down?’

“? Obscene Middle-aged man, are you hiding something from me?” Noticing Ji Bai’s flinching action and realizing that something was amiss, Lil’ Sha took a step forward.

‘Perhaps it’s best I swallow it.’ The acerbic taste of iron permeated his entire oral cavity, making Ji Bai feel a wave of disgust and nausea.

“Wait a minute… Sniff, sniff~ I smell blood on you, Obscene Middle-aged man.” Lil’ Sha narrowed her eyes with a suspicious look on her face.

“It’s nothing.”

Ji Bai felt a sensation of churning in his stomach after taking one swift gulp to swallow the blood in his mouth.

The strong sensation of queasiness and abdominal pain caused Ji Bai’s complexion to turn pale.

“Ugh, cough…” Ji Bai gagged, causing the blood lingering at the corners of his mouth to trickle down onto the floor.

“Y-You! You got hurt again, haven’t you??” Lil’ Sha was shocked, as she hurriedly ran up to Ji Bai. Upon seeing his pale complexion and blood trickling down from the corners of his mouth, she was more convinced than ever of her thoughts.

“Hey— Why didn’t you tell me that you’re injured? I’m not here to take your money! Don’t you feel terrible trying to downplay your injury like this?” Lil’ Sha was furious, her cheeks puffed up along with the abrupt shift in her emotions.

” …I’m not.” Ji Bai’s words were not a lie. In fact, a DNA test would reveal that the blood he coughed up did not belong to him at all.

“You’re trying to play the hero again!”

“I’m really not.” Ji Bai felt a headache rising upon seeing Lil’ Sha being so stubborn before him.

‘How can I make her understand that this blood is not mine at all??’

Seeing the extremely ‘obstinate’ Ji Bai before her, Lil’ Sha felt her anger explode from all sides. She grabbed his hand and began to walk out of the house.

“What are you doing?”

“We’re going to the hospital.”

“I’m not ill.” Ji Bai gently shook her hand away.

“How can you say that you’re not ill when you’re already vomiting blood? You have to come with me, or I’m going to make a scene and tell everyone that you’re molesting me!”

“…”

‘Why did she use this move again?’

“Go ahead. It’s no use even if you scream your throat out. This is my house.”

“You… Are you actually coming with me or not!” Seeing that her usual tactic had failed, Lil’ Sha immediately resorted to acting like a hooligan.

一一一一一一一

“Like I said, I’m well.”

After undergoing a series of medical examinations, everything appeared to be normal except for some minor, undetectable abnormalities in his body composition and bones.

Ji Bai felt a sense of warmth in his heart as he watched Lil’ Sha carefully examine his medical history while sitting at his side.

The person who had taken the initiative to care for him the last time was actually his sister…

“Oh right, did you visit me for something?”

“…” Lil’ Sha was silent for a moment after slowly placing his medical history down.

“You’re going to Nolan City, right? I want to go along with you…”
